Tasting Notes

This one was a little disappointing. Certainly nothing like a S&W Pacific Ale, really. At bottling, the beer tasted good and didn't really have any signs of the "twang", however, this twangy homebrew flavour certainly developed in the bottle and is very prevalent when drinking it now, which is disappointing. It's got a fairly sweet note because of the wheat grain as well.
